  • Ingition key stuck - urgent help required

    I think this car is jinxed, please help. 2005 V6, problem:

    The car starts but when you turn it off, the key will not full turn to the lock position and therefore you can't remove it. Now if you disconnect the battery, it turns back to lock and the comes out. Re-comnnect the battery and it does the same thing as before - key won't come out. Any ideas?

    As you would guess, there are 2 people interested in buying the car and then this happens!!!

    I'm probably stating the obvious, but is it in park and are you pushing the key as you're turning it to the lock position? Is the steering wheel lock getting in the way? maybe give the steering wheel a jiggle as you're turning the key. BOH!

    Hope it helps, but as I said, I'm probably stating the obvious

        Have you checked your fuses/relays, etc. I'm no expert but it sounds as if it may have something to do with the shift lock mechanism so could be a relay that operates that, brake light fuse or similar.
        Other than that I really don't have any other suggestions.
        Hope you sort it out soon.

          Okay, problem found and solved. There is a little spring tab mechanisim in the auto shifter that is activated when placed in park. Obviously this is the interlock system for when the gear lever is out of park to prevent the key being removed. It some how moved/dislodged from its housing. I repositioned it and voila, all good. Sorry no pictures as I had to rush to get it all back together and get the car down to the mechanics for pink slip. Pink slip done and hopefully the person who viewed the car will buy it.

          Thanks for the comments and help.
